Republicans’ media bias claims boosted by scarcity of right-leaning journalists

why would a corporate media lie for the liberals like you claim they do?


its insanity

 

Massive failings?

The New York Times remains the nation's newspaper of record, dispite your carping.

 

And there is no "BAD" news related to Hillary selling access to the White House if she wins, no "BAD" news about Hillary sending classified e-mails to and from her private server, no :ABD" news about Hillary lying about the video that had nothing to do with the terrorists attack in Benghazi, ETC.???

The really "BAD" new is things like- Did Ben Carson really talk to General Westmorland about going to West Point? Did Dr. Carson really get angry when he was a kid? Did Carson mistreat his dog like Romney did??

Do you have an example??

Why does that excuse them for lying about Republicans?

Why the dem party refused to allow better control of Fanny & Freddy is a good question that the liberal media will never answer.

Let me tell you how it happened. President Bush needed military funding to fight terrorism so the dem threatened to block military funding in the Senate if the Republicans didn't leave F&M alone because they had Barnie Frank's homo lover running F&M into the ground by paying big commissions to his friends who were buying the junk mortgages from the banks and then selling the trash to other banks.

The amount of money that Frank's lover took out of F&M is more news that i wasn't "BAD" enough to print in the liberal press.

 

Now you are on to something. Liberals place their insane ideology over all else. Any rational person could fix MSNBC's ratings tomorrow, but it is not done because they want to push hardcore Liberalism.

 

Imo this comment and this thread hinge upon the underlying foundations of what us considered liberal or conservative.... As well as how those political views are typically demeaned and dismissed by political opponents

In the case of universities, these places are filled with people who operate on the premise that things can be figured out, redesigned, and improved. This is what liberals try to do.... Successfully or not

Imo the conservative mind set is skeptical that humans can figure out social process... And that trying to improve them most often makes things worse. Things are as they are as a result of natural laws and processes... Which are best suited to structuring society.

In addition conservatives tend to venerate fundamental principles that emerge from tradition, religion, natural law, founders intent, etc.

Otoh liberals tend not to accept these principles as immutable truth and therefore annoy conservatives by questioning and tweaking what conservatives consider to be their bedrock

This questioning is part of academic inquiry... And the reason that conservatives see universities as liberal bastions.

Imo, a similar dynamic happens with the media. This field tends to attract more academic types. People who are more interested in other things go elsewhere

 

But this never happens on MSM right? The comedians are left wing and attack the opinions on FOX not the news. Listening to you all we should believe is what Obama and the MSM tell us.

 

The New York Times remains the nation's newspaper of liberal record, dispite your carping

All fixed

 

Except that less than 10% of the Media I.D.'s itself as Conservative, while 70%+ is Liberal. That's a problem in any nation looking to police it's government with a news media.

 

MASSIVE FAILINGS. Are you unaware of their huge economic losses and massive layoffs?



Only lock step Liberals believe what is written in the NY Times or LA Times.

 

BS, those comedians have it on record. Keep painting yourself into a corner.

You guys do it to yourselves by making every petty issue a political one.

 

I am wondering where it was that you learned of these thing? Myself, it was from the media...in fact some of them were so continuous is was daily and boring. As far as Carson goes...You may not have noticed but he is trying to be President. Generally when someone does this the media talks about them a lot, investigates things, asks questions and reports the answers.

It's called a vetting process, and they all go through it.

 

Nonsense.

So you do watch FOX other wise all you saw was the media protecting her.

 

Yes..I do watch Fox sometimes. However Much of the information came from places like CNN televising the Benghazi hearings or PBS reporting on various issues surrounding her. Reading various articles helped as well. As for the "Selling Secrets" stuff...I admit I had not heard of it until now...probably because the media tends to report on things that have at least some level of reality to base a story on, conspiracy theory and fiction are found elsewhere.

 

The way the media bias was explained back in the 1950's and 60's was Liberals usually go to college in the Liberal Arts and end up as reporters and in the media. Conservatives go into business.

 

Its more than just editorials. Some networks are very subtle about. An example is when a congressman gets caught doing something bad, for a Democratic congressman it is reported just as just congressman so and so. But if a Republican it is reported Republican congressman so and so. Then you have what stories are delved into, how much air time given to them, which stories lead off or which stories are front page and which are buried deep within the newspaper.

There is no doubt that the bias is there. Some networks like CNN, MSNBC are overt about it. Other more covert. But successful Republicans have acknowledged it as fact and worked to find ways around it and quite a lot succeeded. Just complaining about the bias does no good and is not about to correct anything.

 

Obama wasn't vetted. Every piece of negative association was white washed by the MSM. Remember the guy who attended a church with a pastor, yet NEVER heard the guy preach anything anti-American or racist week in and week out? Then videos came out and......crickets. OBAMA LIED on DAY 1. Its kind of important that the man that married you and you listen to every week for guidance was a RACIST who hated the country. Yet, a comment from Carson 20 years ago about a verbal handshake, has the Liberal media and lunatics here in a hissy fit, claiming he's unfit to be POTUS. They didn't give a CRAP Obama lied about something that just happened. They didn't care he was AGAINST Gay marriage, util he was FOR IT. So he LIED then, or he LIED recently when he changed his mind. Which is it?

Liberals are hypocrites and the media most certainly leans Liberal. Its undeniable. One would have to be living under a rock not to see it.

 

Like Ben Carson's West Point event? Yeah... thanks for the fail.

 

Yes. The real deal was that Liberals hire Liberals. They discriminate and that also goes in the education realm. Now 80%+ of Professors are Liberals, that has changed dramatically since the 1950's and 1960's. They take over institutions and then push their agenda.

 

Wow completely non sequitur but keep playing. now to carry out painting yourself in a corner, keep defending the man that can’t verify a story. he is making himself into another Brian Williams.

 

...and even less than that have the integrity to even have the title journalist. That is what is wrong with the media. Legalized fraud and lying propaganda is nothing to fight for, yet the rich/elites wouldn't have their media be anything but, misleading, manipulative, and dishonest. It is what keeps the plutocracy alive. While the population argues about the social issues, both parties do business behind closed doors.

 

journalists are educated so not likely to vote right wing

 

Isn't this a situation of free markets? If there was a huge market for more right-leaning media, more people would tend to be right-leaning journalists. Maybe those in right-leaning media are discouraging more competition?

Changing goal posts might also be a problem. I read on this forum that most of the Republican candidates are RINOs, so, not right-leaning enough. Just how much more right do journalists and media people need to slide in order to be counted as right-leaning?

IMO, news isn't left or right and shouldn't be reported using either slant. Opinion pieces are different from hard news.

 

News journalists are schooled to have an independent thinking mind, so, since the Democrats encourage independent thinking minds, it's only natural that the majority of News journalists are going to be registered Democrats.

 

Having George Stephanopolous, a Clinton Operative and donor, conducting interviews with Republicans and acting like an unbiased source until he was caught red handed is just another example. The CNBC Moderators were again another example. If they could, they would do what Dan Rather did and create fraudulent documents.
